This book is ideal for actors, performers, and artists seeking a well-rounded understanding of the craft, discipline, and business of acting. Whether you are a newcomer or a seasoned professional, The Actor's Mindset offers insights to deepen your artistic practice and navigate the entertainment industry successfully.
The Actor's Mindset, authored by esteemed Los Angeles and Manhattan–based acting coach Craig Archibald, departs from most acting books—which focus either on the art or the business of entertainment—to show readers how to approach their acting career holistically as both artist and entrepreneur, and how best to nurture each.

Description
The Actor's Mindset: Acting as a Craft, Discipline, and Business uniquely prepares actors to live a full, successful life as a performing artist. While most acting books focus on either the art or the business of entertainment, Archibald looks at the entire picture of what it means to be an actor, focusing on the foundations of both the artist and the entrepreneur to guarantee a complete and fully functioning approach to a career.
The Actor's Mindset is divided into three distinct parts: "The Craft," "The Discipline," and "The Business."
Archibald's unique experience as both an actor and a coach gives him an unparalleled perspective on the current industry landscape. While classic method texts still circulate, and there are actors who have written books that address craft, none have Archibald's depth of knowledge and experience in coaching, nor approach the art from a professional standpoint instead of solely an instructional one. The success of Craig's approach is exemplified by the success of his clients, a roster that includes Constance Wu, John Slattery, and two-time Academy Award Nominee Dan Futterman.
